ECHO #5 – Technology, Mediation, Performance
How does technology inform, shape, mediate and constrain our conceptions and practices of performance? This issue begins with an expanded understanding of ‘technology’. Not only specific technologies (notation, the oboe, recording, the internet, VR), but also wider technological discourses of practical, environment, and conceptual thought-space (heliocentrism, the steam engine, computation and our common extended reality).

Intelligenza della natura, natura dell’intelligenza
Conseguenza ne è che l’intelligenza naturale dell’uomo diventa artificiale non appena si smette di parlarne con parole ordinarie e il microscopio matematico subentra per indagarne/descriverne i... “meccanismi”. Matematizzazione della nostra intelligenza naturalmente matematizzante e sua artificializzazione sembrano dunque andare “ovviamente” insieme.
What Is Life?

Meta.Morf 2022 – Ecophilia
Nature has gone estranged. Our link to it is more important than ever. Our home planet needs our care and love. This is what Ecophilia is about. And you cannot avoid it. Nature is all about your lifeworld. Where you live, how you live and how you love it. Ecophilia reflects not only a necessity, but also a deep desire to connect with nature. But what is nature really? Except for some ecological dreamscapes?

The JRC SciArt project is pleased to announce its upcoming series of conferences Changing the Ground to reconsider the post-covid worldview, which, in our opinion, requires a closer collaboration between art and science amongst other urgent changes that are needed to confront the challenges before us.
The Screen as Surface, Site and Space
What is evident when exploring these optical histories is the primacy of space for the structuring of experience, and how spatial ontology is continuously redefined by milestones in screen technology development. By reflecting on historical precedents, how might this further enrich our understanding of the materiality of screen as media?
